Consulting Services

Using a collaborative consulting approach, we design, develop, and align people and culture programs and systems that engage employees with your values, vision, and organisational strategy. Our services include vision, purpose, and values setting, leadership and talent development, organisational capability frameworks, and more. We aim to transfer knowledge that builds internal capability for sustained momentum and future solutions.

Capability Frameworks

Our considerable experience in designing bespoke organisational-wide capability frameworks aligns employee behaviour with your vision and strategy, providing clear expectations across your organisation. We also develop individual functional or role profiles that consider critical capabilities, experiences, knowledge, and attributes that enable success. We collaborate with organisations to integrate and embed capability frameworks into their business while aligning multiple people programs and systems across all stages of the employee lifecycle.

Gaining Employee Insights

Our skills in designing, implementing, and analysing tailored employee surveys will assist you when you would like to objectively measure and understand employee attitudes across a range of targeted areas. When more qualitative detail is desired our group facilitation and focus group services will enable you to gather a clearer, more objective view of issues. This is particularly useful when people internal to your organisation are too close to the questions to find the answers.

Psychometric Assessments

We offer a wide range of validated psychometric tools measuring personality, ability, motivation, reasoning skills, and managerial judgement. Our consultants are accredited practitioners in:

·       SHL Assessment Suite - Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), Motivation Questionnaire (MQ) and Verify suite of aptitude tests

·       Saville Assessment – Wave Personality Questionnaire

·       Hogan Assessments

·       Facet5 Personality Profiling

·       Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

·       DISC Profile

·       A BRAVE LEADER 360

As well as reducing time and costs associated with recruitment through online objective assessment, these assessments can form the foundations of team building and leadership development programs. Interpreted reports and feedback from a psychologist ensure clear and relevant communication and insights, whether it is for candidates, managers or HR. Our extensive experience in designing bespoke capability frameworks also provides us with the flexibility and know-how to effectively tailor capability or competency-based assessment reports to reflect your specific organisational context.

Executive Assessment

Our comprehensive executive assessment service is designed specifically to assist in selecting or developing senior managers and executives. As objective observers following a thorough scoping process, we incorporate personality questionnaires, ability tests, competency-based interviews, a range of simulation exercises and targeted feedback, to provide a broad and objective view of a person’s suitability and ‘fit’ for a role.

Leadership Development 

We use our extensive knowledge of human behaviour, effective leadership styles, and adult learning principles to create customised leadership and high-potential development programs with the culture and performance expectations of your specific organisation in mind. By working collaboratively with you, we ensure that your investment in leadership development delivers tangible and sustainable outcomes.

Development topics include authentic leadership, coaching, effective communication, stakeholder management, conflict, influence, feedback, leading change, our A BRAVE Leader framework, and more.

Team Development 

We develop and facilitate team workshops that enable the acceleration of team relationships, performance, and growth using a combination of design thinking and psychological principles. Our team alignment sessions with Team Canvas or other similar tools get everyone in the team on the same page about the team’s purpose, goals, aspirations, needs, and ways of working.

Psychometric assessments can also be included in these sessions to improve self-awareness and promote a better understanding of team members' differences, allowing for better utilisation of strengths and to overcome challenges. Customised workshops using these assessments can be designed to interpret individual results and to analyse communication styles or other social dynamics and group objectives. Workshop times are flexible to suit the team’s needs and can often form an introductory supplement to a broader team workshop, whether it be a strategy session or development day.

Coaching

We offer coaching services at all levels of organisations, often using diagnostics such as personality and motivation assessments, 360-degree feedback, and structured workplace observations to provide rigorous and useful diagnostics.

Our coaching process focuses on practical insights and recommendations, and we work closely with each individual, their line manager, and HR to ensure coaching goals are agreed upon and supported. Coaching sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs, and the duration and number of sessions are determined accordingly. We have expertise in individual assignments and large-scale coaching programs, as well as the implementation of peer-to-peer and group coaching.

a brave leader

The A BRAVE Leader 360 is a comprehensive multi-rater feedback tool designed to help individuals and leaders at any level of an organisation gain a better understanding of their leadership skills. Unlike traditional assessments that only gather feedback from one source, the A BRAVE Leader 360 provides a 360-degree view of a leader's behaviours at work, allowing for accurate measurement of their strengths and development areas.

The A BRAVE Leader 360 tool is a comprehensive leadership assessment grounded in a research-backed model that draws from several well-established theories of leadership, including the Full Range Leadership Theory and the Cognitive Experiential Leadership Model.

The research that underpins the A BRAVE Leader model emphasizes the importance of understanding behavioural traits that leaders should possess, as well as the connection between thinking styles and leadership effectiveness. In line with this, the model outlines and assess six key factors of effective leadership: Authenticity, Balanced, Rational, Action-Oriented, Visionary, Empathetic.

Psychologist Supervision & Endorsement

We are Psychology Board of Australia (PBA) approved supervisors. We can provide principal or secondary supervision for Organisational and Clinical Psychologist Registrars looking for Endorsement by the PBA and provisionally registered psychologists, as well as general support for other mental health professionals. Supervision is essential to ensuring high standards of professional practice within the industry. Regular supervision can help professionals monitor and review the quality of their work as well as client, customer, or project progress.

We recognise the important relationship between work, wellbeing, and mental health.  By promoting psychological wellness and awareness of mental health issues you can help your organisation’s productivity, retention, and bottom line.

We have a suite of options to help you optimise wellbeing and mental health in your workplace, including interactive workshops, ‘lunch and learn’ or ‘toolbox’ topics, and customised one-on-one sessions.  We focus on topics such as enhancing wellbeing, managing mental health, stress management and coping skills.

Our psychologists draw on a variety of empirically validated techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Solution Focused Therapy.
